Garrison Brothers Distillery, established in 2006, announced the release of Lady Bird, a Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey infused with Texas wildflower honey and finished in a cognac cask, on Saturday May 6 at the distillery, and then nationwide, starting in mid-May. This new expression, almost eight years in the making, is Garrison Brothers’ ninth addition to their bourbon portfolio and its sales will benefit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin.  

This bourbon was first aged for 4 years in new white American oak barrels before being infused with Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey for an 8-month period. The bourbon was then transferred to French XO Cognac casks, where it matured for an additional 3 years. Bottled at 114 proof, Lady Bird Bourbon is hand-sealed with a distinct Prairie Purple wax. The initial release will feature just over 5,900 bottles for the market.  

The production of Lady Bird contributes to the preservation of native wildflowers and plants across North America through the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. For each bottle sold, Garrison Brothers will donate $5 to this non-profit organization, supporting their efforts in environmental conservation.  

“We’re grateful for the commitment and support provided by the Garrison Brothers and for their demonstrated leadership generating awareness about native plants and landscapes,” said Lee Clippard, Executive Director of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, in a news release. 

Garrison Brothers Lady Bird Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey will be available for purchase at fine liquor and spirits retailers across the nation with a suggested retail price of $179.99 and will be served at select restaurants and bars beginning mid-May 2023.  

Every expression of Garrison Brothers bourbon is made from a sweet mash bill and barrel-aged in the intense Texas climate. The extreme heat creates multiple aging seasons in a year, resulting in a darker, richer, and fuller bourbon, bolder than almost any other bourbon on the market.
